This is idiotic. The U.S. historically has left a significant duty station in nearly every nation it has had combat operations in. The oil connection has no rational validity, primarily because Saddam Hussein would have cut the U.S. a better deal on oil than even the present and future Iraqi govt.'s will just to get the U.S. off his back. Oil is a gain, but not a substantial one, and the Iraqi people gain much more than the U.S. does in this scenario.

Crowley may be photogenic and well spoken, but her analysis is hollow.

We wouldn't have gone into Iraq if any of the following was true.
1. no oil in Iraq
2. Saddam regime not in power
3. Bush not a douche
notice 9/11 is not one of the criteria.
